“ Hi” Lena raised a hand awkwardly and slightly dropped her foot down while Angela switched on the light.
“ Mother Mary just sneaked into the apartment for the first time in her life how awesome will this fit the news headlines?” “ You slept with him last night or you slept at his place?” Vera raises an eyebrow. “ Sleep at his place just like that? Will a guy allow you sleep in his place without a nice thrust in your Vj?” Angela Exclaimed “ It's possible!” Vera pushed. “ It's not, not in this day and age things had changed!” Mabel sat up comfortably, points at a chair opposite them and Lena sat up giving an awkward smile. “ I could feel how shameful you are Lena who would think the most conservative one among us would have a wild night with a stranger she just met!” “ You all said he isn't a stranger right?” “ He is to you!!” Angela snapped, Lena swallowed hard lowering her head. “ Enough with the awful treatment she is bound to let loose one day and have it rough so it isn't a crime” Vera dragged her seat forward, “ how was it?” She winked at Lena who placed both hands on her face grinning. “ Wow she's shy then it was…. “ Nice!” Lena completed the statement, “ I know you all would accuse me of doing something out of selve but still all I can say is I needed a quick fix that moment and Jayden showed up as the perfect fit for it and he delivered, and I would say that's what matters” “And he did just that, by hitting your spot right? ” Angela asked and there laughed but Lena nodded staring behind them. “ Yes!” “ Wait why the long look?” Vera asked after laughing. “ Nothing!” “ So is there going to be a next time?” “ Nah…” she shaked her head slowly gaining the curious attention of her friends who had momentarily enjoyed the gist. “ Why?” “ He’ll be leaving the country soon and that's it, The end!” “ What? Just like that? But why? It hasn't been made public yet that he's leaving the country like….” “ Maybe it's a private thing!” “ So that's why there came over to band Bustin last night to enjoy his last days in Greenville, oh dear I know how that might feel. You feel disappointed right?” Mabel asked and Lena smiled awkwardly again. “ Don't tell me you fell for him already?” Angela pressed. “ Can we end this topic?” Lena sighed, “It's getting overwhelming already!” she blinked her eyes severally stopping the tears from flowing out. For the first time in forever Lena wanted her own person, her own lover the right person for her, the one who would never let her go like Diego did but as it seems now the only person who was best for that would be leaving the country and it was obvious she shouldn't push it and just let it go! “ What will you do now?” “ Nothing!” She chuckled, “ just moved on like I did with Diego at least it's best!” “ But you haven't moved on with Diego’s and this had just made it worse!” “ It really didn't made it worse, it made it a little better! At least I forgot all about Diego last night with Jayden.” She smiled despite the sparkles in her eyes dimming. “ Are you okay?” Vera stood up to pat her and she sniffled. “ I’ll be fine I always have!” She stood up and head into her room closing the door shut with a tiny bang, lay on her bed staring at the ceiling, Jayden made her feel what she hasn't felt in years although it sounded wrong it felt so right at the same time. Her mind flashed back to Diego and Olivia at the club last night, the way they acted last night all lovey dovey unlike last night it didn't hurt that much anymore. She stood up, walked into the shower and had her bath, bathing off Jayden's scent and smell while staring at his white sleeve. Feeling hungry she head to the kitchen and had breakfast. Walked back Into the living room to see Angela on live and avoided getting caught in her video. But Angela signaled to her she was caught in her live video and she rolled her eyes and head back inside. An hour later A bang on her door waked her up and Lena opened the door to see Vera with lots of stuffs, “it's weekend and that screams free day lets enjoy it!” She dragged Lena to the back of the house while the others followed. Lena was shocked to see the garden all set up as a day date and she knew the girls did all that to make her happy. With everything set there enjoyed their selves drinking, dinning and Angela handed Lena a pill, “ I know it's your first time, but you need this!” “ What's it for?” “ A contraceptive to avoid being a single mom” she winked at Lena who nodded and quickly swallowed it whole. After the day fun seeing how hot the sun was, there all head back inside, settled in and Lena got a message. Gave it a click and it reads. “ Ms.Taylor your sick leave is over and you need to report at work on Monday failure to do so will result in a permanent consequences” Seeing this she sighed and leaned back on her chair. “ What?” Mabel asked sensing her discomfort. “ I just got a message that my sick leave was over failure to report at work on Monday would lead to a permanent consequences just as stated on the text” “ That's harsh!” “ That's how private airline Companies works!” Angela took a sip of her wine. A sudden call came in and Lena glanced at the caller Id then pushed the phone aside after declining “ Why? Is it Jayden?” Angela asked sitting up right. “ No, it’s my mom” “ Oh, what do you think she has to say?” Mabel asked. “ Words about my failed relationship with Diego!”“ A company Slut!” Another added using a voice note. The word echoed in Lena's ear as she closed her eyes to dilute the embarrassment but still she couldn’t process it. Lena sat there speechless as she stared at the chats on her phone, to her all these had ended in Greenville. The commotion with Jayden and the abuse she got from co-workers. Who would have thought she would still get chased and monitored here in Mexico. She wiped a tear off her face and sniffled hard, well there is no use crying. It has always been like this, and she has gotten used to it already, always being talked about everywhere she goes, including in the company.But still why does it hurt? Even when she has gotten used to it? She asked herself and then sniffled hard again. it isn't new anymore! Lena encouraged herself and cleared up the tears falling down her cheeks.Isn't this too much? She wondered for a while, recalling all they just said. Well it’s best to let it go, afterall it's a rumor. she told herself
Sebastian cleared his eyes with his hands and then turned to his Dad. “ Are you still staring at me? Won't you check?” Uncle Ben yelled at him and then took a step backwards.“ How can you act like that Dad?” Sebastian argued. “I'm your son and you just stepped backwards because I pushed someone?”“ Because you pushed someone?” Uncle Ben chuckled. “Sebastian I think you still haven't realized what you just did,” he took another step backwards.Sebastian swallowed hard, ran his hand through his hair as he bit on his lower lip till he could taste blood on his lips. Slowly he took slow steps and walked over to Gwen lying on the ground with her face facing the ground, he pulled her hand up, released it but it fell down on its own.Sebastian almost screamed as he placed his hand on his mouth and then slowly turned to his Dad. Who gestured for him to check her breath. Sebastian gathered courage and took another slow step closer, he placed his hand on her nose and a tiny hot breath hit his
Sebastian turned his gaze back to his Dad, But Uncle Ben slowly patted his hand under the table, forced a smile on his face and urged Sebastian to keep calm and then turned to his brother. “ I can tell you said that because of the rules and truly what you said is valid, it's best we don't get the board of directors involved or make them talk like they always do!” Uncle Ben reduced the tension with a forced smile on his face and his words.Senior Mr Huxley smiled and slowly nodded, while Mrs Rachel continued her meal, eating slowly as she savored each bite. Uncle Ben noticed this and rolled his eyes and then forced a smile again.“ Waiter!” senior Mr Huxley called out to the waiter waiting outside the door. “ Get me the popular French wine that was imported days ago!” He pulled out his phone and showed him a photo.“ Oh, okay sir, I’ll be right back!” The waiter smiled and walked out of the room.“ A French wine?” Uncle Ben asked, curiously.“ Yes, I was here a few days ago with an in
Sebastian stood up sluggishly as he kicked the wine bottle close to him, he ran his hand through his hair, walked out of his room and walked down the stairs holding the stairs Handrail, as he step down in slow steps “ Sir, your phone is ringing!” Sebastian heard a loud call down the hallway, he turned but saw no one and then continued his steps.“ Sir.. sir.” He heard the voice again, this time as if the person was close by. He turned back again only to see the house help running down the hallway. Waving her hand up with his phone in her hand.Sebastian stopped in his tracks and stood there at the staircase, watching her run with all her might. The house help ran fast and soon caught up with him, she stopped to catch her breath before she climbed down the stairs to him.“ Your phone was ringing sir, I saw it at the lounge!” she exhaled sharply and slowly handed it to Sebastian.Sebastian nodded and took the phone from her, went through the call log and surprisingly he saw several mis
“ Oh my!” Lena quickly bent down to pick it up but before she could reach it, someone kicked it aside with his foot. Quickly Lena followed it with her eyes and made to pick it up again but another foot kicked it aside again.“ Isn't that a pantie?” One of the workers chuckled.“ What were you doing with pantie Miss Lena, when you were asked to go get a file, don't tell me you….” He trailed off and everyone gasped.Another picked it up with his index finger and Lena quickly rushed to take it from him but he spun his arm in the other direction.“ It's a pant, I said it! I knew what I saw!” Mr Noah exclaimed, glanced at Lena and stared at her with so much disdain, “ what did you use that for? And why do you have it with you?” He asked.“ A red pantie at that, everyone knows that's for seduction.” Another worker at the side spat.Lena was speechless, she didn't know what to say and how to say it! She opened her mouth and wanted to say something but nothing came out.“ Tell us,what really
Lena felt the whole world against her and quickly turned her back against the people in front of her at the elevator's last edge.“ Thank you!” Vicky and Vanessa said in Unison as they got into the elevator.“ I almost thought we would wait for minutes!” Vicky wrapped her hand around Vanessa’s arm.“ Thank Goodness we made it.” she tapped Vicky’s hand.“ Which floor?” The girl dressed in a tight law suit at the front asked both Vanessa and Vicky.“ Oh, The 4th floor!” Vanessa replied, beaming with so much happiness, as she glanced at Vicky who reciprocate the same energy.The girl almost clicked it but soon realized it has been pressed already.“ Oh, I think someone else is going there too!” She turned to Vanessa and Vicky, and then turned behind her and her colleagues turned to face Lena who stood with her back turned at them.“ I think that's her,” she gestured to Lena at the back, Vanessa and Vicky turned their gaze to the back to see a girl standing in a strange position and then
